The Humane Society has a great article that talks about how horses are being sent to one of three slaughter houses in the United States. They have a link to contact congress to let them know how you feel about this kind of treatment of horses. It's not so much as to horses being slaughtered as to the way they are being treated before and after they get to the slaughter houses. They are hauled in cattle trailers cramped so full that weaker horses get trampled on. The fact that they are mistreated and mishandled throughout their journeys to the death. This is a horror story for our beautiful creatures, race horses who didn't win enough races, horses ill with disease, horses that were people's pets. This ungodly treatment of one of our greatest assest in this country is dispickable! It is about time our country stand up for our beautiful horses!
Another great place to go check out information on this type of cruelty is
The Equine Protection Network. This place has some pictures that are not for the faint of heart!
International Fund for HorsesThis place has a wonderful message and you can light a candle her for the horses slaughted in our country along with a message if you wish. This site has some dramatic pictures as well.
This industry of slaughtering horses for European consumption is wrong! I personally can't see why anyone would want to eat a horse, but that's just my opinion. I think that horses should be treated kindly and loves always, never eaten! Please go to the The Humane Society link and sign up to send a letter to Congress about this horrible fate our great horses are delt with on a daily basis. Thank you!! The horses thank you!!
